Authors note
Hey guys I'm not sure how old you guys see the pups as but in this story I'm portraying Chase, Everest, Skye and Marshall as 7, Rocky and Zuma as six, and Rubble as five. I'm not sure if you guys care about their ages but hopefully this will paint a better picture in your minds. Also flashbacks will be italicized. Anyway, enough of me talking, on with the story.
Chapter 1: The Rainy Day
It was a rainy day in Adventure Bay. The pups were all inside enjoying the luxuries of the indoors. Ryder had recently installed indoor rooms for the pups for two reasons. The first being that they were getting older and bigger and the second was in case there was a storm like today. The pups were each doing their own things. Rubble as usual was watching Apollo the Super Pup. Marshall was trying to clean his room. Zuma was with Rocky in his room since Rocky needed Zuma's help with a new project. Skye had invited Everest over to go to the beach but sadly it started to rain so Skye and Everest were in Skye's room talking about the boys. Little to the boys knowledge, Skye secretly had a crush on Marshall and Everest secretly had a crush on Chase. Speaking of Chase, he was in his room sleeping after a long mission with the ABPD(Adventure Bay Police Department). It involved a lot of restless hours but they had finally caught the criminals who planned to rob Mr. Porter.
Back in Skye's room, Skye and Everest were talking about their crushes.
"Hey Skye, have you ever had a crush on someone?" asked the curios husky.
"Maybe" answered a blushing Skye as she began daydreaming of Marshall.
"How do you know that you have a crush on that pup?" asked Everest.
"Well it's kind of hard to explain," said Skye, "To me it feels like a million butterflies flying around inside you, if you understand that".
"I guess I kind of do," said Everest, "When I'm around him, I always feel happy and a little nervous".
"That's like me too," said Skye, "but before we continue talking who is this 'him' your talking about".
"What do you mean?" asked Everest.
"What I mean is who gives you these feelings when your around them?" asked Skye in a clearer way.
"I don't want to say" replied Everest.
"Cmon, if you tell me who he is I'll tell you who my crush is" said Skye.
"Fine" sighed Everest in defeat, "I feel like this when I'm around Chase".
"Really" replied a confused Skye, "I thought you had a crush on Marshall".
"Honestly, I did when I first joined the Paw Patrol, but I just grew out of it," said Everest,"I just find him too immature for my liking. I mean I'm not saying I don't like him as a pup, I just see him more as a goofy brother than a possible love interest".
"I used to have a crush on Chase like you did on Marshall, but I grew out of it too. Unlike you I just find him too serious, and the megaphone annoys the crap out of me" said Skye, a hint of anger in her voice at mentioning Chase's megaphone.
Before Everest could respond, she heard a voice coming from her pup tag.
"Hey Everest sorry to interrupt but it's time to come home," said Jake.
"Okay Jake I'll be home soon" replied Everest.
"Well then" said Skye,"I guess I'll see you later".
"Okay I'll see you later Skye" replied Everest as she gave Skye a hug and left her room.
As Everest was walking down the hallway the voices of each pup could be heard from separate rooms as she walked by but one specific voice caught the Husky's attention. It was the pup she has had a crush on for some time, Chase.
From outside his room she heard whimpering. Wanting to see if everything was alright, the husky knocked on the door.
"Chase, are you alright?" called Everest.
No response came so she called and knocked again,
"Hello! Chase are you okay?". Called the husky in a slightly louder voice.
Her call was met with even more whimpering. So without thinking she opened the door, and went inside.
As she walked into Chase's room she noticed all the cases scattered across Chase's desk.
"Wow", She wondered, "how does one pup solve so many cases?"
After this thought faded away she slowly made her way to Chase. Once she got to him she gently nuzzled him until he woke up.
"Everest," asked Chase, "What are you doing in here?"
"I was on my way out of the lookout until I heard you whimpering in your sleep" replied a concerned Everest, "so I knocked on your door, but when you didn't answer I let myself in to see if you were ok".
"Oh, thank you for checking on me but I'm alright, no problems here" lied Chase.
"That's not what the tear marks under your eyes say" said Everest as Chase quickly wiped his eyes.
"Please tell me what's wrong so I can help you, trust me, helping is in my nature,'' said Everest as she gestured to the Paw Patrol logo on her collar.
"Okay fine, but It's a long story," said Chase.
"I have time" said Everest completely forgetting Jakes call.
After Chase composed himself, he said to Everest "The Nightmares began a week ago…
And that's the first chapter. I hope you guys liked It. Feel free to critique but please go easy on me because this is my first time writing a story. I was given the idea for this story from The Atlas Guardian so if you're reading this, thank you for pitching and giving this idea to me. Anyway, as I'm typing these last few authors notes it's currently 4:30 AM and I'm very tired. Also I don't have too much of a plan for this story so if you want to tell me your thoughts and ideas that would be greatly appreciated. So hopefully I'll see you in the next one.
Peace.
